We have had a Bosch for the past 8 years. We have not had any problems with
it. So as far as service customer service, I can't answer that question.
Suprisingly enough, one of the biggest problems I have with it, is that it
is so darn quiet. There have been a couple of times, when I open the door to
put in a dirty glass, only to have water and steam spew out at me because it
was running! Really! Maybe a big flashing red light or something...
As far as the food particle basket, in 8 years, we may have had to empty it
once or twice, but on a whole, it stays clean. Now we do a brief rinse of
the plates before we put them in the dishwasher, nothing major, just to
knock off the big chunks.
I would definately get another one if this one ever wears out.

While you are at it, I would love to hear from Bosch dishwasher owners
whether the strainer-basket is a nuisance?
I understand that Kitchen-Aid has a traditional food particle grinder
to
get
rid of chunks but the Bosch has a basket which needs to be cleaned out
from
time to time.
The salesman I was speaking with said that is why the Bosch can be so
quiet,
no food grinder.
Is the basket-strainer cleaning a hassle?

Not at all--takes a few seconds a couple times a month. Salesmen seem to
use
this as
"negative" but in fact, it is preferable to a grinder. The grinder is
loud
and eventually
clogs with particles and is hard, if not impossible to clean. I had a
Kenmore with a grinder
and will never have another DW with one. With the Kenmore, there was no
way
to clean
the grinder after it began depositing food particles back on my dishes.

I hate my Kitchenaid dishwasher - it deposits all those particles that the
grinder doesn't dispose of, right back inside all the glassware on the
upper
rack. I will never own another one with a grinder. Next DW will be a
Bosch.
